A reader points out that the Star-Bulletin’s move to morning publication also impacts the New York Times.

They’re the NYTimes deliverer, and say we’ll get our Times the next morning!

Who wants a day-old Times?

I think that non-daily delivery of the NYTimes by the no-afternoon S-B is worth a mention. I suspect many, like us, will cancel daily subscriptions rather than get day-late paper.

You’d think the Times might hook up with the Advertiser, but maybe it has a clincher-contract with the S-B?

Inquiring people want to know!

Did you catch the Advertiser’s half-page house ads for the return of former Star-Bulletin humor columnist Charley Memminger to the newspaper world? His first Advertiser column appears today.

The Advertiser’s ranks of former Bulletin people just keep growing. Among those who have moved over from the Star-Bulletin are asst city editor Dan Woods, reporters Gordon Pang, Rob Perez, Mary Vorsino, Diana Leone, , Rick Daysog, Rod Ohira, Paul Carvalho, Treena Shapiro, and columnists Dave Shapiro, former S-B managing editor, now joined by Memminger. There may be others who don’t come to mind this early in the a.m., and some who moved over have already retired or left the ‘Tiser.

And I received this email in response to my question yesterday about the lack of updates on the Legislative Reference Bureau’s iClips service.

LRB’s iClips has moved to a new server. I had put a redirect page on the old address. However for some reason it occasionally bounces to an older page. I’ll check into it. Thanks for the heads up. The new address for the iClips is:
http://lrbhawaii.info/iclips/

Weekdays is usually the familiar added value version with categories and selected articles. Weekends and days off you are redirected to a scripted page (same URL) pulling RSS feeds from the various news providers. This edition is not sorted nor are articles selected for relevancy as the weekday edition. Whatever the news services list in their feeds will go up. (If it is midweek and session and you get a scripted editon, that might mean I’m out sick.) The calendar can be used to locate a particular day’s edition, because the iClips follows a simple naming scheme to archive the dailies. Every month of the year has a subdirectory, mmyy (e.g., 0409). Every weekday has a unique file name, ‘dateday’.html (e.g., 09thu.html). Thus, http://lrbhawaii.info/iclips/0409/09thu.html will give you this last Thursday’s clips.

Glad you use our service, and sorry about this mishap. This is our sixth year doing the iClips and we’re always happy to hear feedback. Any questions, please drop a line. Thanks again.

My sister wrote an interesting entry in her blog on Friday, recounting the funeral of one of my mother’s Kamehameha classmates, and included this factoid:

Only two now survive from Kamehameha Schools Class of 1931.

I’m not sure what this morning will be like, but Saturday morning on Kaaawa Beach looked something like this. Just click if you would like a larger version of the photo.
